Direct Links v1.1resigned1
Skip past known redirection links and go directly to the target website. Dodge tracking and speed up browsing.
Warning: many of the redirection services that are skipped by this extension are there to improve security and/or privacy by warning about malicious websites and changing the referrer header. Firefox has built-in mechanisms to help with both of these, but it may need further configuration.
Features include:
- Configurable redirects: add rules for whatever cases you run into.
- Shortcutting common DuckDuckGo bangs: avoid contacting DuckDuckGo just to be redirected to another search engine.
- Default support for many common redirects, including ones used by 4chan, Disqus, Facebook, Google (including YouTube), Instagram, Reddit, Slack, Steam, and Tumblr.
- Default support for avoiding the hosted AMP cache.
